Drying equipment is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural and forestry products, food, light industry and other fields, is a large number of general mechanical products. China's drying equipment industry from the formation, development to gradually mature has gone through more than 20 years of history. At present, the conventional drying equipment needed in the domestic market and the main drying equipment needed in the international market can be basically manufactured in China. This shows that the history of mainly importing drying equipment in China has come to an end.

據(jù)通用機械干燥設(shè)備行業(yè)協(xié)會透露，今后幾年，我國干燥設(shè)備需求將在以下若干領(lǐng)域增長明顯。在糧食烘干領(lǐng)域中，用于水稻、小麥烘干的小型烘干設(shè)備（5噸／時以下），預(yù)計年需求量將達到千臺左右；化工用干燥設(shè)備年需求量將達到3000臺（套）左右；制藥用干燥設(shè)備年需求量將達到3000臺（套）左右；農(nóng)林土特產(chǎn)品烘干設(shè)備年需求量將達到2000臺（套）左右；輕工用烘干設(shè)備年需求量將達到2000臺（套）左右。

According to China general machinery drying equipment industry association, in the next few years, China's drying equipment demand will increase significantly in the following areas. In the field of grain drying, the annual demand for small drying equipment (less than 5 t / h) for rice and wheat drying is expected to reach about 1000 sets; The annual demand of chemical drying equipment will reach about 3000 sets; The annual demand of pharmaceutical drying equipment will reach about 3000 sets; The annual demand of drying equipment for agricultural and forestry native products will reach about 2000 sets; The annual demand of drying equipment for light industry will reach about 2000 sets.

在干燥設(shè)備類型上，將以熱風加熱常壓干燥設(shè)備、真空干燥設(shè)備為主，其他諸如遠紅外線干燥設(shè)備、微波干燥設(shè)備等特殊領(lǐng)域的用戶也將逐步擴大應(yīng)用數(shù)量；在食品、藥品干燥方面，對真空冷凍干燥設(shè)備中的較大規(guī)格設(shè)備需求量將會增加；具有功能組合（如制粒—干燥、干燥—過濾）的設(shè)備需求量也將增多；高自動化干燥設(shè)備在一些應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域?qū)⑹艿綒g迎。另外，干燥設(shè)備外觀質(zhì)量將越來越受到重視，腐蝕性物料烘干設(shè)備的耐腐能力和可靠的使用壽命，將會受到用戶特別關(guān)心。

In terms of the types of drying equipment, hot air heating atmospheric pressure drying equipment and vacuum drying equipment will be the main ones, and other users in special fields such as far infrared drying equipment and microwave drying equipment will gradually expand the number of applications; In the field of food and medicine drying, the demand for larger vacuum freeze-drying equipment will increase; The demand for equipment with function combination (such as granulation drying and drying filtration) will also increase; High automatic drying equipment will be popular in some application fields. In addition, more and more attention will be paid to the appearance quality of drying equipment. The corrosion resistance and reliable service life of drying equipment for corrosive materials will be of special concern to users.
